CARRIAGE-BRAKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 260,543, dated July 4, 1882.

Application filed April 22, 1882. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, EDWIN S. DAVIS, of

Kelseyville, in the countyof Lake'and State of (Jalifornia,have invented a new and Improved Oarriage Wheel Brake, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My improvement in brakes consists of a theblocks are bolted on, as in the common way,

all as hereinafter described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of'this specification,i n

which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is partly a top view and partly a section of a brake block and shoe, and part of the bar; and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the bar, block, and shoe, taken on the line 00 00 of V Fig. 1.

A represents the B and the shoe 0 are to be supported, and to which the block Bis commonly bolted by bolts passing through the bar, by which the bar is weakened to the extent of the wood cut out for the holes, and, besides,,the blocks cannot be shifted along the bar, as is sometimes desirable. I therefore propose to attach the blocks bar upon which the block-- B by means of a couple of clamping-jaws, D, and a clamp-screw, E,saidjaws being formed on a band-clip, F, fitting securely around the bar A,' but so as to be shifted along it by the screw E, and also by other means in case it 40 may be desired to shift the brake on the bar. The screw E turns freely in the hole of one of the bands F and screws in the tapped hole of the other band, so as to draw the jaws D tight- ]yon the block B. The jaws are slightlydove- 5 tailed to preventthe block from escapingfrom them, and the block is notched in the sides, at Gr, to receive the jaws between the shoulders of the notches in such manner that the blocks canuot-sliplengthwisein thejaws. jaws are fastened in the desired position along the bar'byset-screws H in the bands F.

The brake is adapted'for roadwagons,cars, and other carriages.

The brake-shoe C may be 6f dovetail form, a v

and be secured in a corresponding recess formed over block B by the flange-holding pieces H, as shown, or maybe fastened to the brake block in any other suitable way.

' Having thus fully described my invention,

I claim as newrand desire to secure by Letters Patent--- 7 The combination, with the bars A and blocks B, notched at G, of the clamping-jaws D, bands F, and screws E H, as shown and described.
